Stressed!

Last week was such a bad week! I got a bad review from the school i work for and i feel since then everything is going wrong. I got my taxes done and found out i was in a higher tax braket which sucks because now I have to pay them. BYE BYE wedding money. I am just so worried about the teachers aide position that i have not been sleeping I really want them to have me come back next year. However, on the bright side I got more hours this week at my other job and one of the teachers I work with said that I was doing much better the past couple of weeks. Between the wedding plans and working two jobs and taking are of a home I am about to loose my mind. I am still worried about keeping my teachers aide job because I love it so much, it is such a joy to go to work every day.
Does anyone feel like the way I do?

Today is a new day...start on a positive note.... Things will get better...

Yes! I know how you feel... Just take it a day at a time and whatever negative the review had take it and learn from it. Not worth driving yourself crazy over.

Feel better

These are my go to quotes, albeit a bit childish....

'Just keep swimming, just keep swimming!' - Dory, Finding Nemo

'When the news is all bad, when your sour and blue, when you start to get mad you should do what I do...tell yourself 'how lucky you are!'' - Cat in the Hat, Seussical the Musical

They basically sum up my two methods for dealing with stress. Deep breathes and plow through it. Or think of things that are going well in your life (like yay! you are getting married!) and things that make you smile (like your fiance!)

Feel better!

Try to focus on the positive! as hard as it may be, if you're feeling good about yourself, it will translate to your work!

I'm in the education field too. What do you do? I do home services for kids with autism.

I'm sorry!! I find when it rains, it definitely pours. Things will turn around, just stay positive!!

Jill- do you do ABA? I have been thinking of getting into that field. I am a special education teacher.

Cheer up Courtney!! Things will get better! I think we've all had weeks we wish we could re-do. But it's true that every day is a new day.

In the meantime, maybe a glass of vino will do the trick
